Press Digest 6th March 2007

In Micronesia, April is the Manta mating season and Mantas are everywhere. Just in case you miss a Manta (heaven knows they may want a little privacy!), the Manta Ray Bay Hotel in Yap, in conjunction with specialists Dive Worldwide, offer a special Manta money-back guarantee against no shows! 7-night holidays incorporating a 10-dive package (free diving if no Mantas) depart London Heathrow throughout April 2007.

How could someone spend 10 dives in Yap's clear water and not see a single Manta, especially during mating season? Although it’s unlikely, it is possible that divers could be distracted by Yap's many other underwater attractions including sharks, turtles, Pipefish, Frogfish, Nudibranches and of course Mandarin fish. Topside, Yap is the most intriguing of the Micronesian Islands, with its giant stone money, grass skirts and traditional Men’s Houses.
Guests are based at the Manta Ray Bay Resort, designed and built for divers. Enjoy delicious meals and lagoon views at Manta Ray Bistro, the finest restaurant on the island, and a refreshing cold drink by the water’s edge in the Nautical Weaver Bar. The resident dive shop is Yap Divers, Yap's only 5-star PADI diving facility, offering world-class diving, with access to over 50 dive sites provided by five fast, modern, radio-equipped twin engine dive boats.

The holiday costs from £1,839 per diver, £1,569 per non-diver including scheduled flights, transfers, 7-nights room-only accommodation at the Manta Ray Bay Resort and a 10-dive package (value £210 - refunded if no Mantas sighted).
